Abstract excerpt
Microbiota generates millimolar concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can modulate host metabolism, immunity and susceptibility to infection. Butyrate in particular can function as a carbon source and anti-inflammatory metabolite, but the mechanism by which it inhibits pathogen virulence has been elusive. Using chemical proteomics, we found that several virulence factors encoded by Salmonella...
